well i was really just keeping it short and sweet and to stir up some discussion haha but i guess i can describe why i chose specific alliances to swim/sink.
ltei - i am not biased by any means, but seeing the talent/experience we have in ltei it is looking like a promising future
tee - i remember these guys from zeta and it seems like they kept most of their core. interested to see what happens with us and them.
lmfao - i know these guys from theta, have the same core and are very good at coordination. these guys were honestly a pain in the ass/still are haha.
amazing harmony - i really dont know much about them but they are located in a good spot and take up all/most of their islands. btw are these guys from china/pacific rim? i can see them doing very well though
gon lurn today - doesnt seem to have great competition near them, otherwise i dont know any of them. looks like a good/fun group though
astartes - looks like a a skilled group
enigma - i would like to know more about them
and honestly i have the same opinion on other alliances such as the weeping angels/monty python/spqr/55 native coalition/etc - although they just look like mixed group with beginners/veterans, they have time (obviously) to prove themselves and distinguish who the strong players of their groups are.
i'm excited to see how omicron plays out. i think its going to be a lot of fun, and a lot of good competition. only time will tell, these are just my "preseason" thoughts
